Having problems with your Polaroid i735 Digital Camera ?

Polaroid i735 lens stuck, three beeps and there is no sounds of the camera trying to do anything. The camera was barely 2 months used and never dropped...I have tried rechargeable and new alkaline batteries.

Answers :

If ur very sure that the battery is fully charged... first we would advice you to change the batteries and see ...... if that doesnt work... the battery contacts may be corroded or bent and hence not making correct contact with the battery.... sometimes there cud be dust or sand particles in the lens retraction passage... blow out air in those places..... this cud help a great deal.... I was able to fix a similar problem by wiggling the outermost part of the lens.as its trying to go in.... also try Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in their slots. if that doest help Remove the batteries, then remove the memory card. Then install the new batteries, when you turn it on it should come back to life. turn it off, slip in the memory card and turn it on one last time. if that doesnt help

Insert the cameras Audio/Video (AV) cable, and turn the camera on. Inserting this cable ensures that the camera's LCD screen remains off during the start process. Thus extra battery power is available to the camera's lens motor during startup. This extra power can be useful in overcoming grit or sand particals that may be jamming the lens. If the AV cable doesn't fix the lens error by itself, consider keeping this cable installed while trying the above fixes and 7 as a means to provide extra help to these fixes. But note that I DON'T recommend keeping the cable installed during Fix 6 as you may damage the AV port while tapping the camera. Reinsert the cable only AFTER tapping the camera.

Now we're entering into the realm of potentially damaging your camera in conducting the fix. There is definitely some risk here, so take care when conducting the following two fixes.Fix #6: Repeatedly tap the padded/rubber usb cover on a hard surface with the intent of dislodging any particles that may be jamming the lens. Other variations include hitting a side of the camera against the palm of your hand. A lot of people have reported success with this method. HOWEVER, there is also some potential for damaging or dislodging internal components with this method, such as unseating ribbon cables, or cracking LCD screens.

Fix #7: Try forcing the lens. More people have reported success with this method than with any of the other methods. HOWEVER, there's obviously some potential for damaging your camera by using this method. Variations include gently pulling, rotating, and/or twisting the lens barrel while hitting the power button. Attempt to gently straighten or align the barrel if it's crooked or twisted. Another variation includes looking for uneven gaps around the lens barrel, and then pushing on the side of the lens barrel that has the largest gap (note pushing the lens barrel all the way in is NOT recommended as it may become stuck there). While doing any of the above, listen for a click that indicates that the lens barrel guide pins may have reseated in their guide slots. If you hear this click, immediately stop and try the camera.

Just bought a Canon Powershot sx10is. Bought used. worked fine at first. Now when I try to power on the camera the LCD screen quickly flashes white. The camera never turns on. I have tried various types of batteries including alkaline and rechargable. I have also tried replacing the small watch type battery that is in the camera (CR1220) and nothing works. Any Ideas?

Battery Killer Every time I try to use my Samsung s630, the battery in the camera dies in seconds. I tried to change the battery type, but the camera never makes it that far with any batter type (alkaline or rechargeable). Is this a lost hope?

When I got my s630 at first it went through batteries like crazy. Than I changed the battery type, like you did, only, mine started working just fine. I would try contacting Samsung on their website, and if your still in warranty, if it is a technica ...

Battery problems i have a kodak easy share cx7330 digital camera and i am using NiMh rechargeable batteries. i put them in the camera and they don't work. i tried new alkaline batteries and the red light comes on but not the green light. any help?

Canon PowerShot A495 - Brand new. Used it once and took 40 photos. It then told me to change the batteries which I did. From then on it keeps saying "change the batteries" I've used alkalines and also rechargeable NiMH, These are either new or fully recharged batteries and still I get the same message. I have also cleaned the terminals inside the camera and even those on the batteries themselves. No change. This is clearly not a battery problem. This is a camera problem and its seems I am not th

My Kodak Z650 camera just won't switch ON. I used the camera a few weeks ago and it was working fine and after using it, I removed the battery and packed it away for next use. The next time i tried using the camera it just wouldn't switch ON just like that. I bought new batteries it didn't help. The camera has never been dropped or anything but it won't switch ON.

Hi there Make sure the new batteries are fully charged before used. After that remove the memory card & try to power on. If its not ON then i suggest you remove the battery & check the that place for any sulfur layer( green colored ) are the ...

Drained Batteries I am having a battery problem with my A75, which is my first digital camera. The camera has gone through 2 sets of brand new alkaline batteries since I've had it. I have taken only two photos. I've mostly only turned it on a few times to fool around with it and to try to learn the different functions. The most recent batteries where drained after sitting in the camera for two weeks and taking no photos. Basically, brand new batteries drained after two weeks of no use.

I have a JVC Everio HDD camcorder, model number gz-mg330rex which is approx 2 years old. The camera has had little use, been well looked after and carefully stored. Recently I went to use the camera using battery power and the camera would not switch on, so I tried the camera with the mains lead and it worked fine. I assumed there was a problem with the battery , so I bought a new battery from JVC. When I tried the new battery the camera would still not turn on.
Do you have any ideas what could

The lens comes out, but then the camera turns off. I tried new batteries, I tried rechargeable and regular, and I have no idea whats wrong! Please help!

Hi, I am having S2 IS camera.... Haven't used it for the past 6 months....now facing one problem.

Battery Life My HP Photosmart 635 Digital camera has never operated properly since I got it. The problem is battery life. When I install new alkaline batteries or fully charged nicads, the batties die after 5 minutes wether the camera is on or off. I now use it as a paper weight.

This is a typical problem with these cameras. The culprit is a failed onboard battery. The battery is for retaining the time and date while replacing the removable batteries. If you put batteries in and set the time and date- then remove the batt ...

We have a relatively new Sanyo vpc-s120, and have just tried to change the batteries for the first time. I have tried several sets of both alkaline AND rechargeable (both of which are recommended in the instruction manual), and each time, the camera screen says "battery depleted" or "low battery warning", and it just powers back off or only stays on VERY briefly.
What am I doing wrong???

BATTERY I have an older DSC-50 which works great...I bought the new W-170 and they both use the NP-BG1 batteries. I have used the newer battery in the DSC-50 camera and now when I try to use the orignal older battery my camera tells me (For use with compatible battery only) and then shuts down. I can still use the new battery in both cameras. I get the same response from the W-170 with the older battery. Battery has been great and has been holding a good charge... Any ideas? Removed memory stick

Batteries This camera has been the worst digital camera I have ever used. The pic quality is fine. The ease of use is fine. The problem lies in the battery longevity. Maybe that is not even the right description. I will put in new batteries and only use my camera for a short time. The next time I go to use the camera it is not at all uncommon for it to not turn on. Even though it has new batteries and was not left on, the batteries are dead. It happens with the rechargeable as well as re

Camera won't turn on. The battery wasn't dead, and I tried charging it to full, but nothing. It's a very lightly used camera (maybe re-charged the battery twice) and it has never been dropped, exposed to extreme, heat, moisture etc. Still looks brand new. Please help!

This model will blow the fuse very easily. If you can solder really well you can replace it yourself or replace the entire mainboard of the camera.I believe we have it listed for about $65 on our site, please let us know if we can help! ...

I have a Cyber-shot DSW-W310 camera.
I recently purchased a new battery.
When my battery needed to be recharged I used my recharger.
I placed the battery in my camera.
It is appears it is fully charged but the camera says
"For use with compatible battery only"
Then the camera shuts down.
The battery I have is a Sony battery that worked just a few days ago!!!
HELP!!!
The battery was $50.00!!!!
Not sure if it is my charging dock that is causing the problem with my battery.

I do not know how to work my AGFA e Photo digital camera w/record & play. The actual model # is ADC CL 15U. I do not have instructions and/or a manual.
I never tried to use the camera until now. I put new batteries and shot a photo to no avail.

Whenever I put batteries in the camera it won't turn on but if I use an AC adapter it works just fine. I've tried Heavy Duty, Alkaline, Lithium, and even Rechargable. The battery door is fine and intact.

The manual indicates that the camera should be able to use either alkaline or rechargeable AA size batteries.Make sure that you are observing proper polarity of the battery as they are installed. Also double check the battery door. Ther ...

Nikon Coolpix L12: Hadn't used the camera for a couple of months; removed the batteries and recharged them (Nimh), and now the camera won't turn on. Put in a couple of new alkalines and still won't turn on. Removed the memory card, and no effect. Has not been dropped or whacked.

Most likely what has happened is that some slight oxidation has occurred on the battery terminals inside your camera. Take some alcohol on a qtip and clean them thoroughly. Let it dry good, and see if that works. If it doesn't, try cleaning th ...

BATTERY DISCHARGE I have an Olympus FE 210 Digital Camera and had been using the same for over 3 months. Recently I observed a problem in the same. When I put the camera on, I can browse on the LCD screen and can see the snaps available in the memory. However, when I try to click a new snap, before the flash could pick up, the LCD screen trurns blue and starts showing the signal "BATTERY EMPTY". I changed many sets of new batteries but the problem continues. I am not able to use the camera for c
